9 a.m.: Medical Records in the Cloud -- Use of Social Media in
Health Care PracticeWhile confidentiality is an ethical, legal
and treatment requirement of healthcare providers, the methods of
communication used in the modern world have moved the boundaries to places far
different from those practicing in the healthcare sector in years past. The
speed of electronic media including use of social networking sites such as
Facebook, Skype and YouTube, as well as use of e-mails and cell phones have
expanded the ways of communication. Emphasis will be placed on the ethical,
legal and professional issues presented by the use of these forms of
communication within the healthcare sector and some of the issues which may be
encountered.

10 a.m.: Finch v. Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector
-- The Decision and its ImplicationsThe Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Court rendered two decisions concerning a class action
lawsuit filed by Health Law Advocates regarding the constitutionality of
excluding legal immigrants from state-subsidized health insurance. This
program will provide a historical look at this population’s access to health
insurance under Massachusetts health reform and how changes to that access
culminated in these landmark decisions. It will also address the
commonwealth’s and the plaintiffs’ response to the decisions and the
opportunities that legal immigrants will have to access health insurance
benefits under the Affordable Care Act.

10:50 a.m.: Networking Break

11 a.m.: Health Care Needs of Children with Autism: Insurance
coverage and other sources for autism-related services In 2010
the Massachusetts legislature passed “An Act Relative to Insurance Coverage
for Autism,” which requires health insurers to cover certain services for the
diagnosis and treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). An expert
panel will discuss the impact of the 2010 law on access to treatment for
people with ASD, particularly children, as well as other sources for
autism-related services, including special education.

1:30 pm: I Apologize -- A Transformation of the Medical
SystemThis session will provide an overview and history of
apology laws that apply in medical malpractice cases. It will also address
institutional medical apology programs and the trends and future of apology in
medicine from the perspectives of health system, physician, defense counsel
and plaintiff counsel.
